[omniORB] looping iin transient exception handler

[henning.schmidt@philips.com]

It is omniORB 3.0.3

I guess I found what I need to do.
I installed a custom exception handler as described in the manual chapter 6.12.1 (http://www.uk.research.att.com/omniORB/doc/3.0/omniORB/omniORB006.html#toc37)
This way I get control over when a TRANSIENT exception is propagated to user code.

I am happy now, thanks.

Which version of omniORB is this? Can I see a trace at say -ORBtraceLevel
30?
